Instructional Media Committee Reviews Tape Course Quality Commonwealth Campus students and faculty will now have the opportunity to review the quality of tape courses of fered al. the Commonwealth Campuses. according to Dr. Robert G. Quinn, Dean of Academic Instruction for Commonwealth Campuses. Quinn said that the purpose of a committee on instructional media would be to help monitor and supervise the production of television and other media courses offered at the campuses. "But we're not restricting our selves to video tape; we're thinking of various instructional media." Dissatisfaction with video tapes became first evident on a serious scale during University President John W. Oswald's visit to the Worthington Scranton Campus last Spring. Quinn then talked to the assistant deans for resident instruction from the various campuses and consulted student surveys. The committee will be com prised of three facets of the University--professional prod uction staff, faculty and students New Officers For Circle K The Behrend Circle K Club has elected new officers for the winter term. The new president is Ed Neuburger (2-AG-Fairview ) and vice-president is Jim Raf fetto (6-Ed.-Bellefonte). The secretary's position is filled by Steve Geibel (5-LEC.- Bradford) while the treasurer is Craig Johnson (5-Cl.En.-Titusville.) During the past fevi weeks Circle K has been active in various projects around campus. They collected for Multiple Sclerosis, sold plastic meal ticket coverings and are selling popcorn at the movies every Sunday night. The club is planning to par ticipate in community services and _volunteer work in the near future. Meetings are every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in the Quiet Lounge of the RUB for all those interested. from the campuses and the processor who is the main course lecturer. After the video tape is prepared, it will be sent to one Commonwealth Campus where student and faculty will assess it. and - if necessary, send it back. The end objective, according to Quinn, is "all first-class tape courses." Quinn, an ex-officio member of the committee, has appointed Dr. L.P. Greenhill, Assistant Vice President for Instructional Services, as chairman. In ad dition, the assistant directors for resident instruction will probably supervise the local campus participation. The Scranton Campus will probably be the first campus to review a tape course, when the filming of the Geological Science 20 is completed. "It will require a lot of work on the part of the students" said Quinn. "In effect, they will be going through the course to review it."

"It's really essential that we have these tapes. . it amounts to the fact that a Commonwealth Campus student would not be able to get a course or would have to transfer earlier if the tapes were not available. "I think it's great that Com monwealth Campus students will be involved in the actual production of a film. We first will have G. Sci. 20 monitored; then we will try Psy. 2." An unofficial target date of two to two-and-a-half years has been set by Quinn for "replacement of bad tapes and introduction of good new ones." "There is no excuse for poor tapes. since they are so essential to the Commonwealth Cam puses." said Quinn.
